This patch removes a lot of unnecessary differences between the implementations of StringBuffer and StringBuilder in GNU Classpath and provides one implementation of the native methods used by these classes. Using one native implementation in AbstractStringBuilder means we also don't run into as many problems with bridge methods. With this patch, we could probably remove StringBuilder.java altogether as it becomes identical to the one in GNU Classpath. StringBuffer retains a single difference; the use of System over VMSystem. ChangeLog: 2008-09-08 Andrew John Hughes * Makefile.am: Replace natStringBuffer.cc and natStringBuilder.cc with natAbstractStringBuffer.cc. * Makefile.in: Regenerated. * java/lang/AbstractStringBuffer.java: (append(int)): Made native.
